2016 GLE Hood Fins $240
Hi,

I ordered 2016 GLE hood fins for $240 at dealership. This seems like a ripoff for 6 metallic looking plastic pieces.

I saw similar on ebay for $80.

I am having second thoughts. Advice please.

Buy from eBay, they are just as good. And then you can get the glue if need from MB parts counter for about 15.00. I did this and when I checked the lot, mine were exactly the same and it's been two hard winter and 100 car washes and yet still look great!

Can you give me link of which one you bought. That way I don't order wrong ones.

It's been two years, but these look like the correct ones, I saw MB OEMs also but they were $198.
pick what you feel comfortable with. I used the tape that was inside them along with some of the MB Glue, tape held them in place and glue secured them.

If you want to buy from MB, go to MBOEMPARTS.com and use BENZWORLD2017 for free shipping
Glue part # B66881304
OEM hood fins A1668800082

Look at this on eBay

I bought this item from EBAY ($37.95) for my brother 2014 GL's as the Christmas gift. The seller is from CHINA so it take awhile (2 weeks) to get it, here is :
jogonese (687), item # 182271632582 , now it's even price less $34.15.
